[UNITED24] The MIG-29 — A Soviet-era Jet Review. Why does Ukraine Want F-16s?

The MIG-29 is not suited to engage small targets such as the Shahed or cruise missiles since the aircraft's avionics and radar system are not very advanced. So F-16s are critical for Ukraine as an offensive strategy and to intercept missiles and cruise bombs beyond Ukrainian territories, potentially saving the lives of thousands of civilians. We talk about this in our video interview with a Ukrainian pilot.
